For years, Chinese students have practised English by writing letters as "Li Hua"—a fictional (虚构的) name used in middle school tests. These letters, usually talking about school life or personal hobbies, often end with: "I look forward to your reply (回复)." Recently, American users on the internet started replying to these letters. One reply came from a US user named Miranda, who shared a picture of her handwritten reply in Chinese. She spent over an hour writing the reply. She said, "I wanted to show how much it meant to me." Her message reads:
My dearest Li Hua,
I apologize (道歉) for taking such a long time to write back. I never read your letters, but they have blessed (祝福) my life. I no longer feel alone now, as I know we travel the world side by side. Every day, when I wake up and go through my usual chores, it will be easier for me to know that you are doing the same. I am happy to know that even if (即使) we have never met, we will always be friends. Thank you for your letters and your friendship!
Your pen pal,
Miranda
At the same time, the act (行为) has brought about much discussion (讨论) among Chinese internet users. One wrote, "Suddenly, it feels like I'm seeing my younger self, beating my brain (头脑) out how to write these letters in every test many years ago. Others expressed that they felt "warmed" by the kind act of friendship from across the world. "I think this shows the spirit of a friendly world," one person wrote.

多年来，中国学生一直以“李华”的名义写信来练习英语，“李华”是中学考试中使用的一个虚构名字。这些信通常谈论学校生活或个人爱好，结尾常为：“我期待你的回复。”最近，美国网友开始回复这些信件。其中一条回复来自一位名叫米兰达的美国网友，她分享了一张自己用中文手写的回信照片。她花了一个多小时写这封回信。她说：“我想表明这对我来说意义重大。”她的信中写道：
我最亲爱的李华：
很抱歉这么久才回信。我从未读过你的信，但它们却祝福了我的生活。我现在不再感到孤独，因为我知道我们并肩环游世界。每天，当我醒来并完成日常琐事时，想到你也在做同样的事情，我就会觉得轻松一些。我很高兴知道，即使我们从未见过面，我们也将永远是朋友。感谢你的来信和你的友谊！
